Community Library

Kalamazoo County · dedicated 1987 · 8951 Park Street, Richland

The Ladies Library Association raised the funds to build this Classical Revival-style building, which was completed in 1910. After serving as a private library for thirty-eight years, it was sold first to the Richland Rural Agricultural School (1948) and then to the First Presbyterian Church (1959). In 1981 the Richland Community Library Board purchased it. Through a community fund-raising campaign, the building was renovated and became the public library for Richland Township in 1983.
